OPERATING SUPPORT

 

Through the Philadelphia’s Cultural Treasures initiative, 16 arts and culture organizations were awarded multi-year general operating grants in recognition of their important and enduring contributions to Philadelphia and its residents. 

Each organization applied through a two-phase review process, which included submission of an initial Letter of Interest (LOI) then a full application. 

LOIs and applications were thoroughly reviewed by independent panels of local leaders and community members with a range of knowledge and work reflecting diverse neighborhoods in the City of Philadelphia, the arts and culture field, and civic participation.
